Roasting asparagus brings out a wonderful flavor in the vegetable, the tips taste like popcorn to me! It's infinitely better than boiled. I grind on liberal amounts of pepper and a good sprinkling of salt.
This asparagus is so simple, it hardly counts as a recipe. But it's also so delicious, I had to share it.
Either skinny or thick asparagus can be used, most people have a preference. Go with whatever yours is. Just note, I used skinny, so you may have to adjust your cooking time for wider asparagus.
